+    The following legacy notifications have been transformed to
+    a new versioned payload:
+
+    * aggregate.create
+    * aggregate.delete
+    * instance.create
+    * instance.finish_resize
+    * instance.power_off
+    * instance.resume
+    * instance.shelve_offload
+    * instance.shutdown
+    * instance.snapshot
+    * instance.unpause
